The 1976 Soweto student uprising is mythologized as an early noble skirmish in the fight against Apartheid. But the commencing act of violence was a student stabbing a female teacher with a screwdriver because he didn't want to learn Afrikaans. Image Much stoning of police and police vehicles. Much revolutionary not doing of homework. Image

Belloc argued that where you have training and social cohesion, infantry beats cavalry. But when you lose cohesion, better to have cavalry. Image A Quora poster had a good line: "Pikes didn't make the Swiss famous; the Swiss made pikes famous"

Eeben Barlow recruited an informant by having her fortune teller foresee that she'd be in a fender bender, that her lucky number was 777, & that a stranger would solve her money problems

Barlow's team then rear ended her car & arranged for her to meet Barlow in a hotel room #777 Image @EebenB is on Twitter. Maybe you consider his services for your next geopolitical transaction.

"The proof of it is that the people flocked to the feudal structure as soon as it was completed" Image A line for @GregoryClarkUCD

One of the many reasons I chuckle at the JQers is that one of my neighbors is Soros without the hedge fund; old Jewish guy who *founded* an entire Warren Court era field of criminal justice reform, runs institute that pushes for the "anarcho tyranny" that JQers rightly abhor... In some cosmic accounting, this guy is probably responsible for tens of thousands of criminals being released to the streets. But there is no conspiracy. Just a smart guy on a misguided mission, the way other professors might agitate for wind power or higher min wage

If you spend enough time around poor people, you stop thinking of this Dril tweet as satire & realize that it's pretty accurate. "Candles" is just a stand-in for a suite of astoundingly profligate behaviors. Couple of times in life I've found myself holding the *actual* budget of a poor person (compiled more or less under duress, following a family intervention), & each time it's basically been the Dril tweet. Like the rank orders of the categories don't even make sense.

1\ 🇵🇷 A GUIDE TO EATING SPICY IN PUERTO RICO! 🇵🇷

Welcome to the 18th parallel, a conveyor belt of flavor that links such pinnacles of piquancy as India, Thailand, Mexico, and...La Isla del Encanto!

LET'S TALK HEAT! Image 2\ If you're a gringo, you need to check your assumptions like lost luggage. Forget household names like "jalapeno", "serrano", "habanero", and "ghost pepper".

What do you think this is, Arkansas? You need to know how to get down with LOCAL flavor. Image

Funny how much of third world dysfunction is inexplicable by any theory of "development"; go to major museum, hours are different from what's on website, this fact is met with placid indifference by all employed there. Not an issue of "funding" or "skills" O-ring Theory doesn't grab you if you're the sort of person to think about O-ring Theory, because you've spent your life among the competent. But imagine a place where, say, staffing a small business is a daily Apollo Program

Homeless couple just put up a tent on our block, 40 feet away from apartments that rent for $20,000/mo. Cops refuse to do anything, so I waited until they left to panhandle and threw all their belongings away. Amusingly, it was a homeless encampment springing up nearby that put the first asterisk on my mom's otherwise solid NYT/NPR bona fides

Before the transsexual movement was infiltrated by transvestites, Jan Morris (herself a pioneering transsexual) was able to notice that autogynephiliacs were just chasing a kink

Today this observation is taboo

@Steve_Sailer Image Funny, I've recently been wondering about the female sensorium...what does it feel like at a sort of gestalt level to occupy a world created and maintained by, essentially, aliens? Well, Jan Morris has a passage about just that: Image
